>AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST ADVOCACY DAYS, FEBRUARY 23-26, WASHINGTON, DC:
>You are invited to an educational and advocacy event for people of faith
>committed to working for just U.S. policies toward Africa and the Middle
>East.  From February 23-26, 2003, concerned individuals from around the
>country will gather in Washington, DC, to educate themselves and their
>members of Congress on the impact of U.S. policies in Africa and the Middle
>East.  While the Bush Administration presses toward a "preemptive war" on
>Iraq, too little attention is being paid to the ongoing problems of violence
>in Israel and Palestine and the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS and poverty
>in Africa.  Join others in raising these issues with members of Congress in
>Washington.
>
>Africa and the Middle East Advocacy Days will include:
>* Issue briefings
>* Advocacy workshops
>* Opportunities to meet with congressional staff and members
>* Shared fellowship and networking
>* A keynote address and Capitol Hill reception
>* Special ecumenical service of worship for participants and the public.
>
>Registration, program, and housing information is available at
>http://www.loga.org/advocacy2003.htm.  For more information or to register,
>you can also contact Anna Rhee at 301-384-3615 or anna at cmep.org.
>
>This event is cosponsored by the Africa Faith and Justice Network, Church
>World Service, Churches for Middle East Peace, Stand with Africa Campaign of
>the Lutheran Community, and the Washington Office on Africa.  FCNL serves on
